Tamil Nadu cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has set a new milestone in the sport after 45 years. Aside from that, Ashwin merely needs one more wicket to surpass the 500-wicket mark in Test matches. Ashwin, who is from Chennai, joined the Indian team for the first time in 2011. He has already participated in 97 Test matches and claimed 499 wickets. Supporters anticipate that in the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot, Ashwin will achieve this unprecedented feat. In Test cricket, Ashwin has gained a great deal of respect and recognition, particularly for his carrom and click bowling. For batsmen on any Test cricket wicket, Ashwin has been a dream come true because of his mastery of the varied nuances of spin. Ashwin is an expert at choking the batsman by changing how he throws each ball. Ashwin will have the upper hand over the batsmen, particularly on fields that are conducive to spin. The Indian team was in a little bit of a jam when Ashwin joined. Since Harbhajan was the only other spinner regarded as being as good as Kumble at the time. There was only one part-time bowler, Yuvraj Singh. Kumble was missed, but Ashwin, who was a member of the Indian side at the time, compensated. On November 6, 2011, Ashwin played his first Test match in Delhi against the West Indies. He claimed nine wickets and was named Man of the Match in the opening game. In his first 16 Test matches, Ashwin claimed 5 wickets 9 times. Ashwin holds the record for most wickets taken at the quickest pace—between 250 and 350. In addition, Ashwin finished as the second-fastest spinner with 400–450 wickets. Test cricketer Ashwin has amassed 30 five-wicket hauls, 90 wickets against Australia, 100 wickets against England, and four 50-wicket hauls in a single year. In the three-match Test series against New Zealand in 2016–17, Ashwin claimed 27 wickets. In the five Test matches that he has taken wickets in against England, six in one Test match against Bangladesh, and twenty-one in four Test matches against Australia, Ashwin has claimed 28 wickets. Before the England Test series began, Ashwin had amassed 496 wickets in 96 Test matches. Fans therefore anticipated that Ashwin would break all previous records by taking four wickets in the opening two Test matches. However, Ashwin only claimed 3 wickets in the second Test against England at Visakhapatnam, finishing with 499 wickets. In the upcoming Test, supporters anticipate that Ashwin will take his 500th wicket. Ashwin will become the second Indian bowler to 500 Test wickets if he succeeds in this endeavor. Maybe Ashwin will become the fifth spinner to reach 500 wickets in Test cricket if he grabs his 500th wicket in the upcoming Test. The top four players are Australian player Nathan Lyon, late Australian superstar Shane Warne, former Indian captain Anil Kumble, and former Sri Lankan player Muttiah Muralitharan. Aside from that, Ashwin's three wickets against England in the opening two Test matches made him the only bowler to reach 100 Test wickets against the English. Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, an Indian spinner, formerly held the record with 95 wickets against England. After forty-five years, Ashwin broke that record by reaching 100 wickets. After Bhagwat Chandrasekhar took 95 wickets, Anil Kumble took 92 wickets, Kapil Dev took 85 wickets, Bishan Singh Bedi took 85 wickets, and Ishant Sharma took 67 wickets. Aside from that, 350 domestic wickets have been taken by former spinner Anil Kumble. Ashwin just needs four more wickets to accomplish this. Ashwin would become the bowler with more than 350 domestic wickets if he took these four wickets. With 97 Test matches under his belt, Ravichandran Ashwin has amassed 499 wickets. The economy rate for Ashwin is 2.78 runs. Ashwin is ranked ninth in the world rankings and has amassed 499 wickets in his Test cricket career.

In addition, Ashwin (36 years, 298 days) became the 13th oldest player to take ten wickets in a single Test match. In Test cricket, Ashwin is the ninth-most-bowled batsman. When it comes to bowlers who have taken the most wickets between 250 and 350, Ashwin possesses the record. In 45 Test matches, Ashwin has claimed 250 wickets; in 54 matches, 300 wickets; and in 66 matches, 350 wickets. Ashwin is the second bowler to take 400 wickets in 77 matches, and in 89 matches, he is the second bowler to collect 450 wickets.
